Born without a sense of humor? We are inspired by your courageous struggle. …Just kidding. Get the hell out of here and go read Wookiepedia's "real" article on Tauntaun.

"And I thought they smelled bad...on the outside..."

―Han Solo

The tauntaun was a big, bipedal and extremely smelly semi-intelligent lizard-creature that was found on a variety of worlds, including the ice ball Hoth and the sand ball Tatooine. On the former planet, it was the favored prey of wampas; the carcass of a tauntaun was also useful for keeping a person suffering from hypothermia alive.

Of course, that person might not thank you for such a method once they smell their clothes.
